Thanks, all, for sharing your experiences with the A350 Y seat. Looks like the soft seat back in the lumbar area has been noticed by others as well. Agree that apart from this "feature", the new seat is quite comfortable.
Since that flight on CX, I have been poking around other aircraft seat backs (Mainly SQ). At least on the SQ birds (A330, 777), all the Y seat backs have a firm/hard layer in the back, and I believe this is the case for the previous generation of CX A330 and 777 Y seats too.

This comment brought a smile to my face!

I flew J on B-LRJ, a very new A350 delivered to CX 4 months ago. I thought the J product was superb, and did not notice any quality issues with the finishings.
